You must have a lovely home. A phenomenal collection of rugs and blankets.
And another up on the wall today: Navajo Natural Double Saddle Blanket c.1900-1920. Mounted using a french cleat.
How are you hanging these up using the french cleat if you don't mind me asking. Are you sewing a muslin lining to the back of it or doing something totally different? Got some blankets myself from village folks of Samtay and liking how clean your hanging looks.

I bought another rug on Etsy. The listing said it was wool, hand-knotted. But when it arrived and I cut open one end, the bottom seemed to be almost entirely made of cotton. The top is made of wool, but it seems weird that the bottom would be almost completely cotton and the top wool.
Anyone have any idea based on this close up?

Wondering if I should return it, ask for a partial refund, or just accept it as is. We like the design, but the fact that it's majority cotton (maybe 75%) makes me wonder about it's performance vs an all or mostly wool rug.
I contacted the seller and they just said it has a cotton foundation and they may have accidentally copied the text in that listing from another one. The listing says no returns, but I'm guessing Etsy will allow it since it isn't quite as described. I'd appreciate any advice/thoughts.
